A new 'sucking' could then appear in Aa2-18. It emerges from the tao sign at left, and we should recall Aa2-5:

Maybe vaero is a 'threat' to the Moon corresponding to vero for the Sun. The dark nights of the Moon could be the 3 glyphs (Aa2-15--17) which precede Aa2-18:

Aa2-14	Aa2-15	Aa2-16	Aa2-17	Aa2-18
19 Maunga Teatea	20 Mahatua	21 Taharoa	22 Hanga Hoonu	23 Rangi Meamea

In Aa2-16 a mauga glyph seems to support this interpretation. But there is a mata in front, and light will return. The fully grown tagata could represent the 'Moon Queen' having been counted in full.

The rhomb insided mauga apparently is the same type of entity as the rhomb in the middle of the vaega glyph type.

At right in Aa2-15 is what looks as an open gap ready to swallow both mata and the 'thread'. It could be a Moon type of 'vaha kai'. The rising fish at left has a tail formed like a waning moon, cfr the 'tail' of vaega in Aa2-14.
